To those who seek truth through knowl- 
edge of principles, this book is hopefully 
inscribed. 



Principles are the foundation of correct 
Theories. 






-PREFACE - THE 

Second Edition 



This chart was originally prepared 
for class use in teaching theoretical 
metaphysics. Its objective feature is 
the presentation in relative position, 
of words in common use expressive 
of the Elements and Attributes of 
Being, both real and assumed, and of 
the various phases of Life activities, 
in suitable form to convey to inquir- 
ing minds the idea described by the 
root meaning of each word, as well 
as to express its true relation to each 
other idea. 



The first edition was so well received 
by those engaged in metaphysical 
research that, in revising for a second 
edition, it has been thought best to 
add a partial explanation suggestive 
of the variety of ways in which it can 
be used to develop thought. This is 
calculated to render clear the concep- 
tion of many metaphysical principles 
and truisms, which in ordinary use of 
the English language remain obscure, 
as well as to clear away erroneous 
opinions in regard to life principles, 
which act as obstructions to the full 
enjoyment of health, thus rendering 
the chart of service to metaphysical 
students of all schools. 

The chart itself can only contain 
essential words relatively placed, to 



lead the student in his own thought 
action from one idea to another, 
leaving him with a clear comprehen- 
sion of the relation existing between 
the ideas examined. The explanation 
given in this edition will help to 
familiarize the student with the gen- 
eral plan, which is all that has been 
attempted in the present work. Full 
detailed explanation of the possible 
uses of this chart, with elucidation of 
all the problems involved, would fill 
a volume much too large for im- 
mediate publication. The manuscript 
of such a work is now in preparation 
and will be published in due course 
of time. 

In the author's course of Instruction 
in Metaphysical Healing, the chart 



r 



is used as the foundation on which 
to build a permanent knowledge of 
theory, and has proved to be of great 
value in making difficult problems 
clear. The idea resting back of each 
word is explained singly and in its 
association with each other idea, bring- 
ing to light its own office and object 
in the construction and continuance of 
the Universe on each and every plane 
of consciousness — physical, mental and 
spiritual. 

As a help to immediate realization of 
principles for practical use in the act of 
treating patients, it is believed to have 
no equal in any printed publication. 

In its present form it is designed to 
be a valuable acquisition to every col- 
lection of Metaphysical literature, and 



of inestimable value to every student 
in similar lines, as well as a ready 
help to all who in any way practice 
mental healing. 

For shortcomings, which seem in- 
evitable under the present degree 
of illumination, the author asks the 
reader's kind indulgence. In future 
revisions every effort will be made to 
keep pace with the growth of knowl- 
edge, in clearer understanding of prin- 
ciples which in their breadth cover the 
entire field of human knowledge.

Conscious reality is the one living BEING. 



A METAPHYSICAL CHART. 



EXPLANATION. 

BEING is the subject which this 
chart is written to elucidate. 

Being is the One conscious reality 
of the Universe^ 

The word Universe is here used in 
its broadest possible sense, extending 
to the spiritual or living, and includ- 
ing all actual reality. 

For examination the subject is di- 
vided into two parts, each of which 
holds an important position in man's 
understanding of the problem of life ; 
each possesses characteristics and 



qualifications peculiar to itself and 
exclusive of the other. 

The entire subject is Being: 
Part First is described as Real 
Being, which upon close examination 
is seen to possess all possible quali- 
fications of absolute unconditioned 
reality. 

Part Second is described as Ap- 
parent Being. On impartial examina- 
tion it is distinctly seen that nothing 
which is classified in this part pos- 
sesses any of the absolute uncondi- 
tioned qualities of the first, or bears 
any strictly true relation to it ; but on 
the contrary that each and every idea 
here expressed is conditional and rel- 
ative only — not in any sense perma- 
nent, but constantly changing and 



passing from view, it being in fact in 
some decree different in the conscious 
recognition of every observer. This 
suggests that it may be more the 
result of personal consciousness than 
a state of actual independent reality. 

Part First, therefore, represents 
Being — that which is ; while Part 
Second represents Seeming — that 
which appears or seems to be, but 
since it is always changing it never is 
strictly what it seems to be. 

To learn the nature of and differ- 
ence between Being and Seeming, 
what each part of Being is and what 
position it really occupies in the 
sphere of living activity, is the object 
of metaphysical investigation and the 
purpose for which this chart is written. 



The body of the chart is drawn in 
four divisions, viz.: Divisions A, B, C 
and D, and in Sixty Sections, num- 
bered respectively i to 60. 

Each Division, therefore, is in sixty 
Sections, each of which is a word 
descriptive of such part of Being as 
is represented by that Division. 

Each of the first thirty-two Sections 
also has four Divisions, each word of 
which bears direct relation, either real 
or seeming, to all of the others. In 
Section 33 and succeeding Sections, 
Divisions A and B unite in one part, 
explained by one word which de- 
scribes the quality or character of 
each and of both combined. 

Divisions A and B constitute Part 
First of the chart : Being — Reality. 



Divisions C and D constitute Part 
Second of the chart : Seeming — Ap- 
pearance. 

That which seems to be, inevitably 
seems to be real', that is what the 
Seeming is — a seeming reality. If it 
seemed to be a Seeming it would not 
continue to appear, but would disap- 
pear and vanish as any illusion when 
the truth about it is discovered ; 
therefore, Seeming Being requires the 
most careful investigation possible to 
give, in order to learn the absolute 
truth about it ; even more so than the 
real, because man's intuitive nature 
makes it quite easy for him to take 
the Real on faith, as it were, while 
still clinging to the illusions of the 
Seeming, thereby confounding his 



theories and confusing his reasoning 
faculties. 

It is claimed for the plan of ar- 
rangement of words in this chart that 
each word in its true root meaning 
belongs absolutely in the division in 
which it is placed, although it may be 
interchanged between Sections and 
occupy other sectional positions in 
the same division often with equally 
good effect. This rule holds good 
with possibly an occasional exception 
in Divisions C and D. 

In no instance can any word in 
either of the divisions of either part 
be removed to the other part without 
stating a false premise, which if logic- 
ally followed to its limits will disap- 
pear in nothingness, as will any falsity 



when forced to its final limits ; hence, 
to group together in mind the ideas 
expressed by the words used in any 
one division, understanding what part 
of Being that division represents, is 
to learn the ideas which constitute 
that part of Being, to understand its 
qualifications and to know its real 
nature. This rule holds good abso- 
lutely in regard to all divisions. 

The final results of repeated demon- 
stration prove the correctness of any 
theory, and it has been repeatedly 
proved that the understanding of all 
the activities of Being as represented 
by the nature and relation of all four 
divisions of this chart, develops in 
every mind possessing that under- 
standing, the power to so control the 



«9 



forces of mental concentration as to 
perform the act of mental healing with 
scientific accuracy and universality of 
application. 

DIVISIONS. 

There are two ways to read direct 
problems from the face of the chart in 
consecutive words : 

First — In divisions from left to 
right, which may also be re-read back 
again from right to left, thus produc- 
ing varying combinations of ideas all 
within the same subject and bearing 
strict relation to each other, no matter 
what the combination may be or what 
portion of the division is read. Thus 
the wholeness, evenness and perfection 
expressed in this division may be com- 
prehended ; in this wholeness lies an 



entire explanation of the One Essential 
Being, which is the fundamental sub- 
ject of Metaphysics, as of all science. 

EXAMPLE. 

Division A, Section i : God, — real 
Being ; read to Section 2, and we have 
the statement God is Spirit. 

Sections 2 and 3: Spirit is Creator. 

Sections 1 to 3 inclusive: God, 
Spirit, is the Creator ; — all are real. 

Sections 1 to 4 inclusive : God, the 
spiritual Creator, is Mind ; Infinite 
mind. 1 to 5 inclusive : God, the 
one spiritual creative Mind, is Cause ; 
the one infinite Cause of all that is. 

God [1], Infinite Mind [4], the one 
Spiritual [2] Cause [5] is Principle 
[6] ; the one fundamental principle of 
Being. The all of living reality. 



Sections 2 and 6 : Spirit is Prin- 
ciple ; — real living principle. 

Sections 1 , 2 and 6 : God, Spirit, is 
the Principle of all things. — Actual life. 

Sections 2, 6 and 7 : Spiritual prin- 
ciple is Substance ; that which stands 
under or underlies all reality. 

Sections 7, 2, 6 and 8 : the Sub- 
stance of spiritual Principle is Reality; 
the one eternal reality of the universe; 
and so on through all sections. 

The first word in any section may 
be coupled with the first in Division 
A, forming an affirmative statement 
which will truthfully and undeniably 
express some fact of Being ; e, g., 
Division A, Sections 1 and 12, God 
is Intelligence. The same rule will 
hold good taking Section 2 for the 






first, and coupling any other section 
with it; e.g^ 2 and 7, Spirit is Sub- 
stance ; 2 and i5, Spirit is Life. 

Most words in the same division 
can be interchanged in this manner, 
resulting in excellent Metaphysical 
development ; e.g., 

Sections 12 and 13, Intelligence is 
Light, or vice versa. 

Sections 1 5 and 6, Life is Principle. 

Sections 13 and 20, Light is Force. 

Sections 19 and 23, Order is' Power. 
The perfect order of the eternal Law 
is the one forceful power of the 
Universe. 

The energy [22] of Divine Will [26 ] 
is the Orderly [19] Force [20] of the 
one Centre [21] of Intelligent [12 J 
Being; the lawful [18], orderly [19] 



and harmonious [58] expansion of 
that Centre [21] of forceful [20] 
Energy [22] is the one Power [23] 
of the Universe ; the subsisting [9] 
power of spiritual [2] Principle [6] in 
intelligent activity of living Light [1 3], 
the pure Wisdom [11] and perfect 
Love [14] of which are reflected in 
the eternal [47] Calm [24] and per- 
petual peace [25] of Christ [29], the 
spiritual principle of living Reality 
[8], in the pure realization of which 
rests that consciousness of an ab- 
solute sufficiency [27] in which no 
desire [C, 26] can be ; a perfectly 
calm contemplation of the Harmony 
[58] of the divine [17] Truth [10] 
of the one absolute All [34] of 
Being. 



The same plan of reading may now 
be applied to Division B, and the 
results obtained will be strictly true 
statements in regard to the true char- 
acter and the real being of Man in 
his fundamental nature, unpolluted 
by any false opinions on his own 
part, or through following erroneous 
opinions advanced by others. Man, 
the one whole, pure and real creation 
of Intelligent Being — the true son 
of God. 

Division B, Section i : Man, the spir- 
itual Soul [2] ; the created [3] Idea 
[4] of Infinite Mind [A, 4] ; the one 
infinite thought [4] resulting from the 
spiritual activity of Infinite Mind is 
the legitimate Effect [5] of the one 
active [22] Cause [A, 5] of all Reality 



[A, 8], equally as inseparable from 
the mind in which it was conceived 
as is any effect from its cause, or any 
Idea from the mind which conceived it. 

The one infinite ideal Effect [5] is 
the perfect Manifestation [6] of the 
spiritual [A, 2] Principle [A, 6] of 
creative [A, 3] Being; or, that prin- 
ciple manifested. It is Principle [A, 6] 
in the act of manifestation [6]. A 
complete Reflection [7] of the under- 
lying Substance [A, 7] of Being, ~ 

Division A represents the Subsist- 
ence of Being itself, the one and only 
God. 

Division B represents the Existence 
of Being, or the living activity of the 
one Being, while reflecting its own sub- 
stance ; expressing its own reality ; 



effecting a perfect manifestation of* its 
own fundamental principle. 

God subsists within Himself. Man 
exists from God, retaining his exist- 
ence ^God. These two divisions are 
united in one perfect whole [34] of In- 
dividual [33] Being, combining Prin- 
ciple and Manifestation [6], Reality 
and Expression [8], Light and its Ray 
[13], Life and the Breath of Life [i5], 
Intelligence and Knowledge [12] 
of that intelligence in one active 
whole of divine Energy, Action [22], 
Power and Strength [23]. Considered 
together these two represent the one 
entire all of real Being. Man is the 
Manifestation [6] of God. 

Division B is only Division A made 
manifest or outwardly expressed. 



Division A represents the Essence 
of all Reality ; therefore it is the 
whole : hence, God is the entire Es- 
sence of Being. Man is that Essence 
in Manifestation ; or Manifested Being : 
the Essential Manifestation of living 
conscious Reality. 

SECTIONS. 

The second way of reading the 
chart is by sections. In this reading 
we find a concentrated statement in 
regard to all the recognized parts of 
Being, in each section. 

Each section may be studied inde- 
pendently, or in its relation to the 
adjoining or any other one. 

Section i may be said to be a 
section of Personality, in which we 



find the names of all the personal 
characterizations of Being recognized 
by thinking man : God, Man, Person 
and Body.* 

Section 2 is a section of Element; 
each element describes the personality 
expressed by the name preceding it in 
the same division ; thus living Being 
is recognized under four personal 
forms, each represented by an element 
recognized as belonging to it — e. g.\ 
a God, who is Spirit; a Man, who is 
Soul — the spiritual soul ; a Person, 
which is personal sensation or sense 
recognition of things, and a personal 
Body, which is constructed of the Ma- 
terial elements of the earth and is a 
part of the earth, never leaving it. 
Section 3 is a Section of Action, and 

* The term body liere signifies all bodily form. 



Section 4 represents definite, conscious, 
active intent, both real and assumed. 

Section 5 is one of natural result of 
definite form of action. 

Each Section is in itself an entire 
explanation of some one phase of 
Being or its activity, and is complete 
in its own sense. 

Each Section in its entirety may be 
read in immediate connection with the 
preceding or the subsequent section — 
e.g., Sections 14 and i5 — A, Love is 
Life. B, Faith is the Breath of Life. C, 
Pride is a mere belief based upon an 
erroneous opinion in regard to Life; 
and D, Hatred, which follows Pride, 
leads to Death, or that sense of ab- 
sence which results from lack of com- 
prehension of the real character of 



the true Breath of Life. — Clear com- 
prehension of the Breath of Life re- 
sults in true Faith [Div. B, Sec. 14], 
which rests only upon actual knowl- 
edge [12] of the substance [A, 7] of 
the real things of Being. 

Section 14 to 13 — Love is Light. 
Love sheds a warm, glowing, living 
light within, around and through the 
Soul which rightly loves in clear com- 
prehension of pure Life. 

Faith is the Ray of Light [B, 13] 
— the light of pure understanding — 
streaming forth unobstructed by any 
false opinion, from Love the active 
Centre of the one Life of Being itself. 

Pride is a cold, loveless and lifeless 
refraction — a seeming ray unassoci- 
ated with the centre of light; turned 



aside— bent from the true course — 
cold, fading and ending in nothingness 
of light; or darkness, the utter lack of 
comprehension of Light, Love, Life, 
Law, Principle, Truth. 

Each section presents some prob- 
lem in regard to the activities of life 
which, if carefully studied, will yield a 
return in knowledge of law which gives 
power of control over many of the 
vicissitudes of life. 

A full comprehension of the true 
relation existing between two sections 
frequently is a revelation, throwing a 
flood of light on some heretofore dark 
and mysterious problem of life. Espe- 
cially is this true of the relation shown to 
exist between Parts i and 2 of any sec- 
tion ; the Real and the seemingly real. 



Actual, unconditioned BEING is 
all represented by Div. A. The other 
divisions represent only different views 
and varying degrees of comprehen- 
sion of the living activities of this one 
ubiquitous Being, of the eternal truth 
and infinite goodness of which we are 
all living and participating manifesta- 
tions, lacking only comprehensive 
recognition, and living lives solely for 
the purpose of coming to know the 
laws of our being, in growth which 
can only come through conscious ex- 
perience in living the law. 

Experiencing, we consciously recog- 
nize element of law; Recognizing, we 
comprehend; Comprehending, we un- 
derstand ; Understanding, we realize; 
Realizing, we come in possession of, 



and Possessing, we become that ele- 
ment. Thus existing man, through 
that existence rightly apprehended 
and properly developed in continuous, 
persistent effort to know the entire 
truth, regardless of opinion or selfish 
desire, may daily grow nearer in con- 
sciousness to the character and quali- 
fications of that perfect model of Man- 
hood from which he springs, and for 
the perfect manifestation of which he 
now enjoys life on this earth, which 
is filled with expressions of the love- 
liness of unchanging spiritual reality. 

No one is debarred from Principle. 

" Seek and ye shall find ; knock 
and it shall be opened unto you."

THE 

PfllLOjSOPfir OF HEALTH 

Is taught to classes in a course of Lec- 
tures, which explain each word of the 
within Chart and the principle of each 
idea in its relation to each other one and 
to the whole, thus developing correct 
understanding of all parts of Being and 
all forms of Life Activities. 

Knowledge of Laws of Life and com- 
prehension of the principles of Being give 
ability to remove sickness by means of 
natural thought action. 

A pamphlet explaining the course of 
instruction will be mailed upon request,
